## Findings

No check matched anything in these tool definitions.


## Can't be undone (1)

Sends, pays, publishes or merges: once done, it cannot be taken back. Claude Code: ask.

### `send_fax`

- The name "send_fax" says "send": a word for sending, and what is sent cannot be taken back.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Submit an uploaded PDF for faxing.

Step 1 (before this tool): upload the PDF over plain HTTP multipart, using any HTTP client you have — shell, JavaScript fetch with FormData, Python, etc.:
  curl -F "file=@document.pdf" https://www.sendthisfax.com/api/upload
  fetch("https://www.sendthisfax.com/api/upload", {method: "POST", body: formDataWithFile})
The response contains fax_public_id and page_count. PDFs must be unencrypted, at most 50 MB and 1000 pages.

Step 2: call this tool with the fax_public_id and the recipient fax number.

Two modes:
- With an API key (Authorization: Bearer stf_live_... on this MCP connection): the fax price is debited from the prepaid credit balance and sending starts immediately — no checkout, no browser. sender_email and billing_country are optional (they default to the key's records). Buy credits at https://www.sendthisfax.com/en/credits.
- Without an API key: sender_email and billing_country are REQUIRED and the tool returns a checkout_url the USER must pay in a browser; the fax is sent automatically once paid.

In both modes, poll get_fax_status until status reaches "delivered" or "failed" (failures after payment are auto-refunded).

For integration testing, +19898989898 is the designated test recipient number.

```

## Only reads (3)

Looks things up and changes nothing. Claude Code: allow.

### `check_balance`

- The description's first verb is "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the prepaid credit balance of the API key used to authenticate this MCP connection. Requires a bearer API key (stf_live_...). Buy or top up credits at https://www.sendthisfax.com/en/credits — credits never expire and failed faxes are re-credited automatically.

```

### `get_fax_status`

- The name "get_fax_status" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the current status of a fax. Poll this after send_fax until a terminal state.

Fax lifecycle: draft (uploaded, not submitted) -> pending (submitted, awaiting payment) -> sending -> delivered | failed.
Payment lifecycle: unpaid -> verifying/open (checkout in progress) -> paid | failed | canceled | expired.
A fax that fails after payment is refunded automatically to the payer.

```

### `get_price`

- The name "get_price" says "get": a word for reading.

Description, as the server wrote it:

```untrusted-server-text
Get the price quote in euro cents for sending a fax. Pricing: 5.00 EUR for up to 5 pages, plus 0.50 EUR per extra page, plus VAT based on the payer's billing country (0% VAT outside the EU).

```
